Wagering for Miss Blake

Lords and Ladies in Love, Book 4

By: Callie Hutton

Narrated by: Susan Duerden

Mr. Giles Templeton, third son of the earl of Wexford, is a rake of the highest order and a confirmed bachelor. Yet, marriage-minded mamas continue to drag their daughters to his attention. He's everything a young lady of the ton could want: handsome, wealthy, charming, and kind. For Miss Suzanna Blake, though, Giles is missing the one thing her parents require in a potential son-in-law: a title.

Giles has a golden touch - investments, horses, connections, but when he falls...hard for Suzanna, she turns him away, despite the passion sparking between them. At wit's end, Giles wagers her that not only will she marry him, but he'll make her fall in love with him. If Suzanna wins, she gains a sizable fortune for her favorite charity but she faces a loveless marriage to a titled man. Though her heart yearns for a true love-match with Giles, she has never gone against her parent's wishes. All bets are off when happiness lies in losing a wager.

Contains mature themes.

Mixed feelings about it

Can't pinpoint exactly why I didn't enjoy the book more. The narration was good, but...

Uplifting, loveable characters , really enjoyable! Also really well read!

Very well written characters with relatable circumstances and obstacles. The best thing is that although the characters had challenges, the reader isn’t put through trauma to enjoy the story. Sometimes a story can be so depressing it has you feeling miserable in your own life while you read it. This story however, is definitely a feel good, uplifting read that makes you feel happy about life and love. Really enjoyable.

Entertaining Story

The storyline was entertaining and never boring. The reading was done by my favorite narrator. I will definitely listen to more by this author.
